a word of CAUTION

DON'T DANCE while WEARING FLIP-FLOPS!


Yesterday morning I was in desperate need of a Coke. Knowing that I had some stashed in my car, I left Savanna inside watching cartoons while I "danced" my way to the car. I was at my finale, Savanna was thoroughly enjoy this production, when all of the sudden I was on the ground. My first thought was that I was alive, the second "am I bleeding" and when I stood up I was a bit disoriented, but not enough to head back in the house WITHOUT my coke. Once inside I took a couple Advil and laid on the couch. I'm not sure if my 4 hour nap later that day because I hit my head, or because I was EXHAUSTED. I admit that I'm not the most coordinated person, but I swear that was NOT the issue...it was a cross between my flip-flops and our uneven walkway.

Nice work Kim. Blame it on the flip flops, Ha Ha. Looks like that hurt a little. Ouch!

Oh, ouch! I don't know what's braver- telling the story or attaching the picture to go with the story!

I'll buy into the flip-flop blame, though. I only wish I had shoes to blame most of my own little spills on. I once fell down carpeted stairs by tripping over absolutely nothing and had to miss work the following day because my backside was so bruised. I also managed to fall off a curb and do a lovely "belly flop" onto black top also by tripping over nothing. It's a little scary to think I'm now responsible for making sure my toddler is safe. Hmm... Do you think his trips and falls could possibly make me look a little more graceful?

I didn't think so.

I once did a nose dive myself and had road rash from my chin to my forehead. My nose took the brunt of it!

Oh NO! I hope you are OK. Because if you are OK, it's just a teeny bit funny. At least to those of us who have done something just like it.
